I've been to zomb a few times a few years ago, they were pretty good
but I went back there recently and they must be maxxed out on uploads!
they didn't have much at all, much less than last time I was there.
that was even during a freeleech period,
they have a fairly big membership but most of them do not post any shows.
I think we're referred to as "zombies" over there. it fits!
I was suprised, thought they'd be better than that now.
obviously I will be shopping for a new site to post to when TD is gone.
they should declare a new holiday, Traders Den Memorial Day when it shuts down.
much better reason for a holiday than most of the ones we have now.
there's another new memorial day every week now!

Sorry to hear @Lynne... Understandable, but sad for the community...

PM AAR.oner or greenheatherc if you would like to turn in your post likes for Powderbucks.

Thank you all for what you've all provided for so long!

Edit to say that this is hitting me a bit hard now.

I am one of those quirky tapers that record weird, publicly unshareable music and have been here for 17 years.

I guess I have always counted on TTD to be here so that I could share this stuff.

yeah zomb disabled my ability to download.. im not very good with using torrent as uploading wise but let me use mediafire and mega.nz,,, Zomb doesn't have the best to choose from anyways

Zomb looks normal to me even though I hadn't visited in years until reading the posts here.

[slowhand21]

thank you so much for all that you have done to keep this going as long as you have.

Zomb is quiet but there are still uploads and the admin is definitely still there.

I wonder if http://electricladyland.synology.me might be a viable alternative for the stuff unacceptable at Dime? The site is usually slow to connect, but fully functional. It's not exclusively a Hendrix tracker either, barely at all, in fact.

I'm still confused, though. That 3gb torrent (it's the Stones In Color DVD, btw, added today) is still running perfectly - no errors, red flags or any sign that anything is wrong - so I'll ask again - why must TTD close?

I am on Zombie for a pretty long time...Join Date 2007-03-31 10:29:08 (806 weeks ago), Share ratio 9.391
Cool music files (audio & video) over there
Just did a check about the user status, their on the max of users I think. This it what it says "Total Registered Users 200,000"

I'm willing to sell my zomb log-in to the highest bidder

When they ban me for this we'll know the site isn't dead

[daddyray]

I am on Zomb. I rarely DL anything there though

Thank you so much for all the great years

May those in charge of this decision die slowly and painfully and burn in Hell forever after

Maybe you've already checked it out, but I think maybe your best option could be lossless legs. There is an NAB list, but I don't think it's as extensive as dime. Hope you make an effort to try out some other sites. Don't want to lose anybody.

It has been 15+ years for me following the site by RSS. It was a time before what.cd gave easy access to everything and I was just looking for more stuff by The Band and The Blues Brothers and related acts. And then The Who. Then Prince, and so on. Collecting and listening to just about everything is still my main hobby. 15 years later I still visit almost every day because somehow I still don't have everything I'm looking for. So thanks guys. 18 is an absurdly long time for a sharing site and forum.

Since torrents are usually easily reupped, and roios are typically transitory and not seeded forever, I am a little sad that you have not decided to instead start fresh on current software. That is easy for me to say though. It is not just migrating the DB that is a pain most likely, but also relearning everything for a new software stack. it I don't know anything about the administrators, but if you're even involved in running a site and forum for a few years, you're going to be in a different place in your life after a while where maybe it is time for someone else to do the work. So thanks again, for all the not-Phish.

Oh, I guess it's time to admit this is my second account, I lost my password to my original account pretty quickly so that seemed the best solution for reasons I don't recall. Hopefully the statute of limitations has passed on that one by now!

RE sites taking on refugees, since I've been on them for some duration as well: we all know Dime, it is hampered by the artist restrictions but if you're not there yet, you need to be there because there is plenty of good. There is Lossless Legs (shnflac.net), not just a jam band site, some nice stuff there. Zomb is fine if you like a very short list of mainstream rock bands, maybe some of you can bring some life into it, just be ready for donation begging everytime you log in. Electric Ladyland is a nice niche place but if you think TTD was unstable for a bit, that place hasn't loaded the torrents list for me once this year for all the timeouts. So no, we can't really replace TTD right now. But that replacement might have never shown up if TTD kept going. So here is hoping.
